Take a ristor that has about a .2k ohm resistance and plug it in to the plug that goes to the IAT sensor. the car will use less fuel. and still read a temperature that is in spec and wont throw a code. it worked for me. but since it leans out the fuel dont drive very hard it could be hard on the engine.

with no change in the engine or electronics my mpgs has ranged from 21mpg to 34mpg.
mainly how hard i drive, ac usage, ambient temp, traffic, average speed, etc. how to get better mpg... drive slower. replace your o2 sensor get a free flowing intake/exhaust do a full tune up lower your car, sideskirts, etc skinnier or less grippy tire (negligible) do those and i cam almost promise you will gain 5-10 mpg, depending on where you started -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
